I never said that. I said you will never replace the 40+% trade. Different. We will of course trade, but on different conditions, with barriers in place that make it very difficult and much more expensive (tariffs, border costs, extra administatrion costs etc). The supposition is that we can replace this with free trade from other countries in a land far, far away.
But I go back to my main point - what is happening now and something has to happen quickly. March 2019 to come out with a last minute deal is no good to business. It will takes years to recover from that.
